Crock Pot Butter Beef Tips Ingredients

• 3 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (more if needed)
• 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced

How To Make Crock Pot Butter Beef Tips

1. Season the steak: Add sirloin steak pieces to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly.
2. Sear the meat: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the steak pieces to brown them. Don’t cook through—just add color. Add more oil as needed.
3. Add to slow cooker: Transfer seared steak to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the sliced onion and garlic, and gently stir to combine.
4. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the beef stock. Sprinkle the au jus mix evenly over the top. Layer the sliced butter on top.
5. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or low for 6–8 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.
6. Serve: Enjoy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Recipe Tips

• Can I skip searing the beef first? Yes, but browning adds extra flavor and better texture.
• What’s a good meat substitute? Flat iron steak is a budget-friendly alternative that works great.
• How do I make it extra tender? Cook on low for 6–8 hours for the most tender beef tips.
• Can I make it without onions or garlic? You can, but the flavor will be less rich. Consider onion powder or garlic powder as substitutes.
